Ok gang, dumb question time. I've been printing mostly color images on the 2200. Now that I've started to do some b/w images, they come out with a magenta/purple cast to them even after converting to greyscale. how is the best way to get a good "true" b/w? Jack

Everything you wanted to know about printing BW with the Epson 2200 is right here.... It's been a tremendous help to me, so it should prove useful to you Jack. One thing to keep in mind is that BW's with the 2200 print up better on the Enhanced Matte paper... you get truer tones. It helps if you have Photoshop, if you're using PSP, which has the most horrific/non-exisitent color management tools I've ever seen then you are in for a terrible go of it. Do a little digging through the relevant links on that page, that are step by step instructions on all the different methods that you can try, and if you need more help just ask.

I'm too lazy to click the link, but to my limited experience it would suggest the printer is using colour composite to create the black - does it not have a 'monochrome' setting in the print options so it only uses the black cartridge? My tuppenyworth. (actually, I'll make it my two Eurocents, so I can rid of that spare change in the European toy money.....) (",)

Also keep an eye on if you're using the right type of ink with the right type of paper. The 2200 uses two seperate blacks. One for glossy paper, and one for matte. I've found that using the wrong paper/ink combination definately throws off the tones. -Taltos
